#VERSE
Thirteen minutes until four
Wide awake—did someone pound my door
So freaking tired I’m hearing things
Like Princess and the Pea, I’m feeling every bed spring
#PRE-CHORUS
And I know why
It’s happened before
Doc put me on steroids
And I’ll sleep no more
#CHORUS
Steroid insomnia
Goodbye to sleep
Hello cold sweats
Pace the floor in bare feet
Don’t mess with roids
I’m warning ya
Steroid insomnia
Steroid insomnia
#VERSE
Went to the kitchen—couldn’t resist
The aroma of fresh lemon cake
Now the two-slice sugar rush
Has me doubly awake
#PRE-CHORUS
My doctor prescribes it
So I swallow it down
If there’s a King of Insomnia
I wear the crown
#CHORUS
Steroid insomnia
Fully sleep deprived
Last time around
Hallucinations arrived
Don’t mess with roids
I’m warning ya
Steroid insomnia
Steroid insomnia
#INSTRUMENTAL
#BRIDGE
So what’s my solution
What is my choice
My muscles got weak
Doc gave me his stern voice
“You need these pills
Deal with side effects
People decline without muscles
And you could be next”
#VERSE
There’s no moral to my story
No last-minute plot twist
Just telling you why I’m
Wide awake like this
#PRE-CHORUS
And when I can’t sleep
New songs come to mind
Just a snapshot of me
At this moment in time
#CHORUS
Steroid insomnia
I hope you can sleep
Cause my lack of shuteye
Has me about to weep
#CHORUS
Steroid insomnia
Please no texts today
I’ll be sleeping past noon
Dancing the blanket ballet
Don’t mess with roids
I’m warning ya
Steroid insomnia
Steroid insomnia
